We dont want a security dog,we want a breed of dog who will play with strangers, we will play with all – any breed will be like this if they are trained and socialised properly.

Here is a breed selector, you answer questions and it tells u what dog breed is best suited to your answers.http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/findab…

The health benifits are that owning pets can lower stress thus lowing blood presure and they can help people with depresion. (there have been a few studies into this)

There are also health risks to consider such as worms and fleas, befor they are house broken they will go to the toilets inside.

I would not get the dog yet, first get out a dog book and lurn all you can about training and raising a dog, there is a lot more to it than just playing with it and loving it. otherwise u could end up with a disobedient dog that just causes u stress. (someone i know who has owned many dogs brought a pup and did no training or proper research on the cross (labradodle) and now has a hyper dog thet wont listen to a word she says and its driving her so mad she is considering takin it back to the breeder)
